A fusion of Christian gregorian chants and pop music. Gregorian is a German band (not real monks), headed by Frank Peterson, which performs Gregorian chant-inspired versions of modern pop and rock songs. Because it features both vocal harmony and instrumental accompaniment, the music cannot be considered true Gregorian chant but it's a nice fusion of both styles. True Gregorian chant is a Christian religious music (Catholic) sung in Latin with only voices and no music.
The criteria for song selection were strict; in order to be considered, a song needed to be translatable into the 7-tone scale. After the songs were chosen, twelve vocalists were hired. The vocalists then record their parts in a church atmosphere with dimmed lights and candles, in order to escape what Peterson referred to in a 2001 interview as the "cold and technical" studio atmosphere.
The present song is from the album Masters of Chant Chapter III.
Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love
Can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday
I'm moving farther away
Want you near me
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
Sometimes when I think of your name
When it's only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say
It's getting harder to stay
When I see you
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
Aah, aah...
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
This is going to take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
Aah, Aah...
If you want to know what real Gregorian chant sounds like, check this: Kyrie Eleison (Latin for "Lord, have mercy"), by the Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos (a Spanish monastery with the best singers of Gregorian chant in Christendom).
And here is a fusion between ancient Gregorian chant and moder new age music: Sadness Part I (by Enigma).
